This place is was the retirement home of Father Jerome. Interesting guy, he started off as John Cecil Hawes born in England in 1876. He became an architect, then an Anglican Priest. After the 1908 hurricane the Anglican Bishop sent this architect/priest to restore the damaged churches. He has left a unique stamp around the islands with churches designed with very think walls made of hurricane proof stonework and barrel vaulted roofs. After an interim elsewhere he spent time as a wagon driver, a monk, a missionary and a horse breeder, then he became a Catholic Priest and returned to the Bahamas and built several other Catholic Churches. So it's weird to see similar architecture in the two demoninations, often side by side in the same settlement.
